Nescafe Opens A Nap Cafe In Tokyo

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin with a personal disclosure. I'm not very good at napping. Believe me, I try. But most of the time sleep is elusive. Maybe I'm doing it all wrong. Maybe I need to curl up in a nice, public setting with a cup of coffee, and sleep will come.

That's what Nescafe is betting. The company is opening a new nap cafe in Tokyo. Patrons can snooze on reclining beds for up to two hours as long as they buy an item off the menu. Oh, and guests get a free cup of coffee - decaf, please. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
